Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
6.3/10 73% 99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film (2013) " It's not definitive, tidy or entirely cohesive, but hey, neither was the movement." — Paste Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2013
2.3/10 67% Newlyweeds (2013) " It's hard to determine exactly what Newlyweeds wants to accomplish, but it's plain to see that it fails." — Paste Magazine
Posted Sep 19, 2013
5.6/10 59% Afternoon Delight (2013) " Part of Afternoon Delight wants to be a sitcom, and part wants to be a John Cassavetes film. That these two sides never find harmony is no surprise." — Paste Magazine
Posted Aug 29, 2013
6.7/10 91% The Spectacular Now (2013) " Director James Ponsoldt has adapted Tim Tharp's coming-of-age novel with heartfelt sincerity, but the movie lacks a cutting bite to push it past innocuous teenage drama to a truly deep portrait of adolescence." — Paste Magazine
Posted Aug 7, 2013
8.2/10 97% A Hijacking (2013) " A Hijacking delivers all the thrills the title suggests, but in none of the places you'd expect them." — Paste Magazine

7.3/10 84% Kon Tiki (2013) " Hagen's performance shows an unblinking determination that makes every near-death moment more unpredictable." — Paste Magazine
Posted Apr 26, 2013
8.3/10 98% Mud (2013) " Mud combines the poignance of a boy coming to terms with life's realities with the excitement of top-notch suspense." — Paste Magazine
Posted Apr 26, 2013
6.9/10 68% Wrong (2013) " This isn't a long film, but it lacks propulsion at times. Luckily, it maintains its wry outlook and never quite erases the good will that its best moments inspire." — Paste Magazine
Posted Apr 5, 2013
7.1/10 56% The End of Love (2013) " Those willing to drift along with it will find a compelling character study about a man coming to terms with himself, his son, and the people who enter their lives." — Paste Magazine
Posted Mar 14, 2013
6.6/10 80% The World According to Dick Cheney () " Despite the shortcomings of the interview, the film assembles a portrait of the man's life, eventually keying in on his time as vice president to George W. Bush." — Paste Magazine
Posted Feb 5, 2013
6.1/10 67% Escape From Tomorrow (2013) " Escape from Tomorrow isn't awful, but it's the kind of film that makes you wish it were better than it is." — Paste Magazine
Posted Feb 5, 2013
4.3/10 85% We Are What We Are (2013) " We Are What We Are is a film that ought to feel like an amusement park terror ride, but instead comes off as a poor attempt at fine art." — Paste Magazine
Posted Feb 5, 2013
9.3/10 85% Upstream Color (2013) " Upstream Color builds a stunning mosaic of lives overwhelmed by decisions outside their control, of people who don't understand the impulses that rule their lives." — Paste Magazine
Posted Feb 1, 2013
5.9/10 73% Breathe In () " Breathe In comes ever so close to pulling an emotionally satisfying romance from what is, at its core, a rather pervy story." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jan 25, 2013
7.2/10 96% Cutie And The Boxer (2013) " Heinzerling combines Noriko's drawings with contemporary footage to create a story that isn't only a tale of creative minds, but an honest love story." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jan 25, 2013
9.5/10 98% Before Midnight (2013) " Hangups, regrets and doubts have have become a greater part of Jesse and Celine's lives, and the film reflects that. But it also reminds us what made the couple such a lovable pair that they could hold our interest for 20 years." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jan 25, 2013
7.9/10 70% Les Misérables (2012) " The film features excellent singing, for the most part, but it also emphasizes fragility in a work that's largely defined by its grandiosity." — Paste Magazine
Posted Jan 4, 2013
8.7/10 93% Barbara (2012) " Barbara takes place in a world of such profound paranoia that it's never certain whether the title character is being overly cautious or reckless." — Paste Magazine
Posted Dec 14, 2012
3.4/10 19% Lay the Favorite (2012) " Poor Rebecca Hall. If someone had told her there was no hope for Lay the Favorite, she could have saved some energy." — Paste Magazine
Posted Dec 7, 2012
7.9/10 84% Smashed (2012) " Far from a typical tale of alcoholism, Smashed tells a very specific -- and at times quite funny -- story with rich characters." — Paste Magazine
Posted Nov 1, 2012
6.8/10 53% Simon and the Oaks (2012) " Simon and the Oaks is a lot of things, but above all, it is too much." — Paste Magazine
Posted Nov 1, 2012
9.2/10 85% The Master (2012) " The Master studies its characters with such mystique, tragedy and humor that there's not a moment that isn't enthralling." — Paste Magazine
Posted Sep 21, 2012
7.1/10 91% Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) " Rather than trying to beat Hollywood at its own game of high-tech gadgets and weaponry, director Colin Trevorrow and writer Derek Connolly achieve a sly mix of the insane and the mundane." — Paste Magazine

1/5 68% Flying: Confessions of A Free Woman (2007) " While it might have taken [director Jennifer Fox] several years to figure out what to do, any intelligent audience could do it in 90 minutes. But even if it were shorter, it wouldn't improve the lazy filmmaking." — Film Threat
Posted Jan 25, 2007
2.5/5 85% Wonders Are Many: The Making of Doctor Atomic (2008) " The film oddly attempts to combine the backstage production footage with history-lesson segments. While skillfully crafted, the two stories never quite mesh, and neither go deep enough to work on their own." — Film Threat
Posted Jan 25, 2007
3/5 89% Waitress (2007) " Full of off-kilter characters who don't talk like anyone in real life, but sound a truthful chord." — Film Threat

4/5 82% Protagonist (2007) " [Director Jessica] Yu structures the stories in a manner that is not instantly understandable, but inspires attention with its profound puzzle." — Film Threat
Posted Jan 25, 2007

Posted Jan 25, 2007
4/5 —— Offscreen (2006) " [Director] Boe and co-writer Knud Romer Jorgensen move what could have been a self-indulgent mess unpredictably as their star continues to lose his grasp on reality and find a way to make a satisfying story." — Film Threat
Posted Jan 25, 2007
3.5/5 89% Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (2007) " [Director] Temple succeeds in creating a portrait neither glowing nor damning, but representative of a remarkable man." — Film Threat
